Tired Eyes.

People speak about their eyes being tired, says the Herald of Health, mean ing that the retina or seeing g portion of the eye is fatisuel, but such is not the case, as the retina hardly ever gets tired. The fatigue is in the inner and outer muscles attached to the eyeball and the muscle of accommodation, which surrounds the lens of the eye. When a near object is to be looked at this muscle relaxes and allows the lens to thicken, increasing its refractive power. The inner and outer muscles are used in cov- ering the eye on the object to be looked at, the inner one being especially used when a near object is looked at. It is in the three muscles mentioned that the fatigue is felt, ani relief is secured tenn porarily by closing the eyes or gazing at fardistant objects. The usual ind lca. tion of strain is redness of the rim of the eyelid, betokening & congested state of the inner surface, accompanied with some pain. Sometimes this weariness indicates the need of glasses rightly adapted 10 the person, and in other cases the true remedy is to massage the eye and its surroundings as far q; may be with the hand wet in cod water.

How tue Game Ended.

One day some men of the Fortieth New York Infantry came to the battery 10 gamble took hand in the game of seven up for $1 corner and 5 on the rubber. We spread blanket on the ground behind the earthworks and squatted around it. My part ner. Forthicth New York soldier, was heavy jaweu. light-haired. blue eyed lad of nineteen, an Albany boy, who played we'll, and fought we'll, too. He was wit, who, when in the humor, would make a whole regiment of sick men laugh. We were a few dollars winner. and he was graphically and hu- morously describing the brigade of re- gulars running against swamp in the Wilderness and the my, ,hical conversa' ion between the gray haired commander and the Second Lieutenant just out of est Point, as the old soldier asked if there were any thing in the new books about getting brigade across a swamp, was delicious. As we laughed the hand some lad fell face down into the blanket and began to vomit blood. We grabbed him, turned him over, tore up his shirt, and saw where a ball had entered his side, cutting a cash instead of hule. The wounded soldier did not speak. The blood rushed out of his mouth, his eyes glazed his jaws dropped-he was dead A chance ball had struck the tire of one of the wheels of the No. l gun and glanced forward and killed the delightful comrade. His death ended the game. We put his body alongside of a couple of other dead men, an6 buried the three that night Recollec- tions Of d Private

Houoehold Hints.

Egg stains may be removed by rub. ping with common salt.
 Always hang broom up when not in use. Put an ordinary, small-sized screw eye in the end of the handle if no better way suggests itself.
 Hats and bonnets should be kept well brushed with soft manila brush. Stiff whisk brooms are not suitable.
 Tin vessels should be set on the stove for moment, or exposed to the sun, after being washed, as without this pre-. caution they will become rusty and worthless in few weeks.
 To remove paper labels from old bot ties wet the face of the label with water and hold ir for an instant over any convenient flame. The steam pene. trates the label at once and softens the paste.
 To sweep a room without raising dust scatter damp grass or da1npened bits of paper over the carpet. This not only prevents the flying of dust, but saves the carpet from wear and tear. Either grass or paper is better than tea leave: or bran (o.ten recommended), as the former leaves no stain or spot.

THE WRECKED JUNK. Fuller Details of the Horrible Dis aSter and Loss of Life.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, March s, 1SS7.-The following additional information regarding the wreck of the Chinese junk and terrlbl loss of life has been secured from the officers of the steamer Gaelic The junk was big passenger boat. running from the Island of Hainon 10 Siam. On January II 1t had reached the Sottrany coast, where 1t encountered success sion of heavy gales. While the wind was at its height the junk ran on lank stretching out more than mile from the point called Mythante. There were 6G0 passengers and crew on board, When it was found that the craft was breaking up scene occu red which cannot be described. The ex, iteable Mongols raised storm of shrieks that could be heard above the gale. In their fury they trampled down even their own children. The Admins trator at Baclieu put of in customs junk to render some assistance. but the weather pre- vented the ship from reaching the wreck. In a very short time-not many minutes, 1t seemed after the junk struck. she went to pieces, and out of 6I0 souls six only succeeded Tn reaching the shore.
 Two customs junks are missing, one not having been heard from for nearIy two months, and the other for over month, they were manned respectively by 8 European and an Annanite creg.

Potatoes in Their Jackets.


 "Should potatoes be peeled before cooking. or should they be boiled in their iacketss l say most decidedly in their jackets" writes Prof. Matlieu Williams, land will state my reasons. From fifty three to fifty-six per cent of the saline constituents of the potato is potash, and potash is an important constituent of the blood-so important that in Norway, where scurvy once prevailed very seriously it has been banished since the introduc- tion of the potato, and according to Lang and other good authorities, it is owing to the use of this vegetab' e by people who formerly were insutfi- cicntly supplied with saline vegetable food. Potash salts are freely soluable in water, and find that the water in which potatoes have been boiled contains pot ash, as may be proved by boiling it down to concentrate, then Altering, and add ing the usual potash test-platinum chloride. It is evident that the skin Of the potato must resist this passage of the potash into the water, thou sh it may not fully prevent it. The bursting of the skin occurs only at quite the latter par, of the cookery. The greatest practical authorities on the potato-Irishmen- appear to be unanimous. do not re member to have seen propelled potato in Ireland. find can at once detect by the difference of flavor, whether po- jacket, and this difference is evidently saline.
